HOW MUCH HAS THE LEFT HURT US? Wrong Question! How much has our leadership hurt us. First, not enough troops. Even though they were told by General Sinsheki, they needed more than 300,000 troops, they went in with less than 150,000. Result: We failed to impose our will on the Iraqis and there was immediate looting, chaos and anarchy. We didn't have enough troops to stop the looting or to secure the ammunition dumps or to secure the borders. Result: The insurgents quickly learned they could get away with lawless acts. Second, abuse of prisoners resulted in loss of status and respect from Iraqis and others in the Middle East. Third, we went in without support from France and Germany.
